Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco.

For everyone of us, the implications of sharing private
information on social media are pretty much clear cut, be it perhaps
for the lack of clarity of the user agreements and privacy statements
that go with those social media. What many people donҴ realize is how
much of our data is floating around as we use our devices, ranging
from cell phones to cars. And this situation will become more complex
rapidly as those devices are becoming more intelligent and
interconnected. At the same time, having all this data floating around
provides great opportunity, for example for diagnosing illnesses,
detecting fraud and making educated infrastructure decisions. So the
timing is right for having a balanced Conversation on Data
Privacy. See here for additional information about the event,
